#fangirl weekend

[aria]

Fangirl vacation: excellent so far! Saturday evening I had dinner with polarisnorth, everysecondtuesday, the_wanlorn, oliviacirce, and reflectedeve; there was much sharing of fannish history and yelling about Kink Bingo in public spaces. I really, really love having dinner with fangirls.

Yesterday I wandered about with anekdot, and also had brunch with littledust and her roommate J. Somehow over the course of brunch, which was rife with X-Men talk, we invented the drink version of the Pieta on the Beach. It is made like so:

Pieta on the Beach
White rum (to represent Cuba)
Muddled strawberries (to represent Charles -- littledust says it is to represent his blood, but mostly it is because he has an adorable blush)
Champagne float (to represent, according to J, the happy times gone by, drifting away in a sea of bubbles)
Simple syrup (to represent ... something in this drink besides alcohol)
Edible ball bearing (to represent THE BULLET)
Ground-up edible ball bearings (to rim the glass)

Drink until you can't feel your legs.

ANYWAY I AM HAVING A BRILLIANT WEEK.

AAAAAAAAH FANTASTIC. I want one, badly. (Obviously the strawberries are Charles' stupidly pink lips.)

RIGHT? Olivia and I are in fact making some tomorrow night. EXCITED ABOUT THIS. (Hahaha yes. <3)

DRINK UNTIL YOU CAN'T FEEL YOUR LEGS. (also, oh wow, I hadn't seen it referred to as the Pieta on the Beach before, but it SO SO IS. *dies*)

PROBABLY THE WORST IDEA EVER. (I think tumblr fandom has taken to calling it that! Or something! Because it so so is. :D)

> Drink until you can't feel your legs.

I hope it's okay if I steal this line for every recipe I ever subsequently post, ever.

[aria]

Hah! Please do so. :D

[bessemerprocess]

I think I may to have acquire these ingredients and go watch again. I'm glad other people thought it was a lovely Pieta scene as well :)

[aria]

Do this! In fact me and a friend of mine plan to test out this drink recipe tomorrow night. :D

[oliviacirce]

UM. I THINK WE SHOULD MAKE SOME PIETAS ON THE BEACH AT MY HOUSE.

[aria]

WHY YES WE SHOULD. Lol hilarious late reply. <333

[littledust]

WE NEED TO THROW A FANNISH PARTY, STAT. And... invent teleportation, also?

[aria]

WE ABSOLUTELY DO. In the meantime Olivia and I are going to make Pietas on the Beach tomorrow night, so I will report back to you on how they are!

And yes invent teleportation! Really I want that to be my mutant power.

This is clearly the drink of all fannish parties henceforth. Now I just need a fannish party…

[aria]

Right? Olivia and I plan to make some tomorrow, so hopefully they will be as good as they sound.

Also, your ICON, omg.

[starlady]

Isn't it grand?

I want a full report on these drinks! Or I could just see about teleportation…
